Ultraman's opening scene: lifting up Kuroshio Island

but......

In this situation, he has no other choice.

Either you wait to die, or... you take a gamble!

"boom!"

The alien energy surging through his body gradually subsided, but Mephisto suddenly felt a roar in his head.

A jumble of incomprehensible whispers echoed in his mind, growing stronger with each wave, crashing against his thoughts like a tidal wave.

Mephistopheles shook his head violently, struggling against the relentless whispers, but his dark eyes were gradually turning red.

"Dark Giant... Mizoroki seems to be in a bad state!"

Not far from Mephistopheles, Kazuki Komon frowned and spoke.

He noticed Mephistopheles's constant shaking of his head and saw his eyes gradually turning red.

But he paid more attention to the purple energy emanating from his body. Looking at that energy, Komon Kazuki sensed an ominous feeling.

Upon hearing Kazuki Komon's words, Nagi Saijo did not respond. She simply raised her spear expressionlessly and then pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh~ Bang!"

A beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, streaking through the air before striking Mephisto on the head and exploding.

Mephistopheles was trying to calm the incessant whispers in his mind, but he was growing increasingly agitated.

This attack distracted him, and as he relaxed, his whisper suddenly became louder.

"Roar!"

Mephistopheles' mind went blank for a moment, and he let out a distorted roar as his body instinctively retaliated in the direction from which the attack came.

He swung his arm, and a purplish-black light bullet shot out.

The light projectile emitted powerful energy fluctuations, and wherever it passed, the air was rapidly compressed, producing a series of sharp explosions.

"Do not......"

The next moment, Mephisto regained consciousness. He looked at the light bullet attack that was heading straight for Saijo Nagi, and reached out a hand, letting out a shout.

He tried to stop the attack he had just launched, but it was too late.

On the other side, Saijo Nagi and Komon Kazuki stared wide-eyed at the purplish-black light blast growing larger and larger in their eyes. Their expressions changed, and they jumped aside to dodge.

But Komon Kazuki's movements slowed down a moment as he remembered Riko Saida, who was still lying behind him.

Without a second thought, he decisively turned around and shielded Riko Saida.

Faced with the obviously powerful light blast attack, he chose to use his own flesh and blood to act as a shield for Riko Saita.

Even though he knew it was meaningless.

Kazuki Komon closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

"drink!"

But he didn't wait for the moment his body was torn apart in the explosion; instead, he heard a low growl from behind him.

A look of surprise flashed across Komon Kazuki's eyes. He turned around abruptly and saw a broad, imposing figure.

The figure held out his hands in front of him, and a semi-transparent barrier slowly dissipated from his hands.

Minghui, who was half-squatting, slowly stood up. He raised his head and looked at Mephisto, who was not far in front of him.

Mephistopheles froze in place, still holding his hand outstretched.

Although it wasn't outwardly apparent, Minghui could sense the immense emotional turmoil within him.

Minghui shook his head slightly and raised his hand, making a grasping motion in the air.

As he moved, the distant moon rose from the ground, passed through a flurry of dissipating light particles, and landed in Minghui's hand.

Those scattered particles of light were none other than Faust, who had already been slain by Minghui.

With his long sword in hand, Minghui strode toward Mephisto.

"..."

Mephistopheles fell silent, his gaze trembling slightly.

As he passed over Minghui's uneven shoulders, he saw Saijo Nagi standing behind him.

Saijo Nagi was also watching him, but her face was expressionless and her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

Upon seeing this, Mephistopheles felt a surge of indescribable emotion, an emotion that even momentarily overwhelmed the whispers that had been echoing in his mind.

"Nagi..."

Mephisto gave Saijo Nagi a deep look, then lowered his head slightly.

When he looked up again, his eyes, which were gleaming red, no longer held any other emotion.

In his eyes, there was only that figure not far in front of him.

"Roar!"

No longer did the roar of an Ultraman warrior emanate from his mouth; instead, black light shone in Mephisto's hand, and a sharp claw appeared in his grasp.

Then, he raised his arm and swung it forward heavily.

Three black slashes were unleashed with his movement, accompanied by a piercing sound as they struck towards the approaching Minghui.

The three slashes swept through the air, their sharp aura spreading in all directions, tearing the earth apart wherever they passed.

"drink!"

A glint flashed in his eyes, and Minghui reacted immediately. He swung his knife-wielding arm, and an even thicker, brighter blade of light swept out.

"boom!"

The white light and the black light collided violently, neither giving way to the other. At the point of intersection, thunder and lightning seemed to erupt, and the dazzling light spread outwards like surging waves.

In the end, the two shattered during their stalemate, turning into countless fragments of light that scattered in all directions.

Within this space, it was as if a small meteor shower had begun, with countless fragments of light falling to the ground and continuous explosions echoing throughout the entire area.

"drink!"

"Roar!"

Amidst the continuous explosions, two figures suddenly moved, raising their weapons and charging towards each other.

"clang!"

The longsword and the sharp claws clashed, and amidst the sparks, they separated in an instant.

But in the next moment, more sounds of gunfire rang out.

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, each swing accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. Claws, like black lightning, weaved through the blades, sparks flying and the clanging of metal echoing everywhere they went.

The two figures moved so fast that they almost left afterimages. Two streaks of light, one black and one silver, crisscrossed this desolate space, and wherever they went, the earth cracked open.

"Amazing power!"

Not far from the battlefield, Saijo Nagi and Komon Kazuki watched intently as the events unfolded.

But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see it clearly.

The aftershocks of the battle kicked up a cloud of dust, and through the haze, they could only see two blurry figures constantly clashing together.

Holding the unconscious Riko Saito in his arms, Kazuki Komon's eyes showed a hint of worry:

"Mizoroki's power seems to be comparable to that of an Ultraman. What if the Ultraman is defeated..."

"Are you afraid?"

Saijo Nagi turned her head and glanced at him, her tone slightly stiff.

But looking at Komon Kazuki, the scene of him resolutely standing in front of Saita Riko just now flashed through her mind, and Saijo Nagi's tone softened a little as she said:

"No, that won't happen..."

Even if that happens, I will not give up the fight.

Saijo Nagi's eyes slowly narrowed, her hand gripping the spear tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Vice-captain, do you... like that man named Mizoroki Shinya?"

At that moment, Kazuki Komon glanced at Nagi Saijo's downcast profile, pursed his lips, and cautiously probed with a question.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Saijo Nagi's eyes turned dangerous at that moment. She suddenly turned to look at Komon Kazuki and reprimanded him.

"me......"

Komon Kazuki was startled by her gaze; he straightened his back involuntarily and began to stammer as he spoke.

After staring intently at Komon Kazuki for a while, Saijo Nagi turned her head away again.

Komon Kazuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He quietly hugged Saita Riko and sat a little further away, then looked up at the battlefield again.

But just then, Saijo Nagi's somewhat ethereal voice rang out:

"Don't make wild guesses. Goro Mujin is just my former vice-captain."

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Komon Kazuki was taken aback.

Several images flashed through Saijo Nagi's mind. Her gaze gradually lost focus, and she slowly spoke:

"Before you, when I had just joined the Night Raid Team, he was already the team's vice-captain."

"At that time, he was powerful and reliable. He not only had strong combat skills, but also had the determination to exterminate all the alien beasts."

"It was under his guidance that I gradually grew up, and it was he who gave me hope for the goal of killing all the alien beasts."

"However, this good fortune didn't last long..."

Saijo Nagi paused for a moment, and Komon Kazuki saw a trace of pain on her face:

"It was a seemingly ordinary combat mission. All the humans in the combat area had been killed. All we had to do was eliminate the remaining alien beasts."

"But that time, the two of us went against the operational plan of the Operations Information Center and recklessly carried out a two-person intrusion operation."
